To Our Valued Customers, Partners, and the Artistic Community,

We have become aware of discussions and claims circulating within the industry regarding the originality and authorship of certain products. In the interest of maintaining transparency and upholding the integrity of our work, we would like to clarify key facts.

​

Intellectual Property & Originality

​

TXTOOLZ has meticulously developed, tested, and refined its product line through years of expertise in the film and sculpture industries. Each design is the result of extensive research, real-world application, and continuous refinement based on professional feedback. Our intellectual property is officially registered, with legal records confirming our precedence before the appearance of similar designs in the market.

Since 2021, TXTOOLZ has been at the forefront of conceptualizing, developing, and evolving texturing tools featuring a unique, purpose-driven ellipsoid tip. This ongoing process was driven by the need to provide an innovative solution for sculptors and SFX artists, addressing a gap in the industry where texturing rollers were previously the dominant tool for such applications.

Through multiple iterations, professional industry feedback, and continued refinement, the ellipsoid tip has been optimized over time to offer superior functionality and control for organic sculpting, leading to its adoption by numerous industry professionals.

In 2022, TXTOOLZ also introduced 3D-scanned human skin textures in sculpting tools with the Epidermis Kit, further expanding the creative possibilities available to artists.

​

Legal Verification & Design Rights

​

Under UK Intellectual Property Law (Registered Designs Act 1949, Section 7), a design may be protected if it demonstrates novelty and individual character. TXTOOLZ has officially registered its designs in accordance with these legal requirements, and our registrations are publicly listed with the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO).

For transparency, these records can be verified through the UKIPO website by searching registration numbers 6418538 and 6417591.

​

Clarifications on Industry Claims

​

We acknowledge that discussions regarding originality and authorship of designs can arise within any creative industry. To ensure clarity, we reiterate that TXTOOLZ’s officially registered designs predate other similar products currently available.

The development of the TXTOOLZ ellipsoid tip was driven by the specific needs of sculptors and SFX professionals. Unlike generic tools found in other industries, this design was purpose-built for artistic applications, with careful consideration of functionality, ergonomics, and material response.

​

Commitment to Transparency & Ethical Business Practices

​

TXTOOLZ remains committed to integrity, transparency, and the protection of our creative work. Our primary focus is, and always will be, delivering high-quality sculpting tools tailored to the needs of industry professionals.

We appreciate the continued support from the artistic community and look forward to advancing our work with innovation and dedication.

​

Sincerely,
TXTOOLZ
